Tukatech Opens Online CAD School

Los Angeles-based Tukatech Inc. is now offering free CAD (computer-aided design) training for pattern making, grading and marker making over the Internet.

Interested users can log on to www.tukatech.com and download Tukatech’s proprietary software in PDF or video formats.

The program allows users to make patterns for garments and other products. The service is a prelude to TUKAweb, which will be launched next year and will offer access to all of the company’s software via the Internet on a fee based on log-on time. Tukatech also has CAD classes and rentals available at its Tukacenter in Los Angeles. For information, call (323) 726-3836. —Robert McAllister
